Daines not running for Re-elex at the last minute, along with Zinke retiring a few days back, in conjunction with Bodnar entering the race as an Independent is a little eyebrow raising. Still Montana, but gives you a possible indicator into what the environment will be

Yes the republicans have a majority in the senate that’s how it works you absolute lunkhead

Any moderately popular pundit who gets criticized by people on Bluesky

This sounds like what a teenage boy playing Fortnite would say.

Getting in the muck over JT's harmless Collin Allred comment was a bigger error than she realized, too.

Yup. Her answers on electability being the ability to turn out Black & Hispanic voters to overcome a massive deficit vs Trump/Harris was just such a massive miss; and a miss on a few different fronts, too

basically a worst case scenario for the GOP. run-off election is the day after Memorial Day. So 3 more months of a knife fight between Cornyn and Paxton both trying to glaze Trump as much as possible with tens of millions of dollars poured in while Talarico can stockpile cash for November

didn't hire a campaign manager for a statewide election in the biggest state in the union, didn't put up an issues website until like over a month after she declared for the election, didn't have the requisite campaign infrastructure set up, kicked reporters out of rallies, weird online squabbles

It was obvious going back a month+ at this point. One candidate ran an actual campaign, tried to reach as many people as possible, hustled their butt off, and the other candidate chose to do weird, petty grievance hunting after being in the race for like....3 months

Online, this was an extremely petty and mean-spirited campaign. Crockett was goaded into running by Rs, jumped in too late, and ran half a campaign. Among actual Texas voters, I don't think this is likely to leave any lasting scars.

I think people have a major problem nowadays with earnestness and stuff that’s saccharine. Just because it’s trite or cliche doesn’t mean it’s not good! It’s a good movie! And Kate Hudson is excellent, a worthy Oscar nom. Hugh Jackman also is great

Some things are nostalgia and "of course you like it better, you're 12" But also, some things are just objectively true. This just looks better. It is better.

Like, this was *December* dawg. Before the team went careening down a ravine for two months. They know what they need. Go do it man.

The time to buy was last summer. Or in December. Or before the olympic break when the time seemed to turn some things around after winning 4 out of like 25 games. when you're 3 or 4 points back and have played 3 or 4 more games than everyone, your goose is cooked

Kate Hudson in Song Sung Blue is one handsome lady

If Bob Thomas goes to the Sabres and the Caps go an entire year without making a move for the top 6 forward they have painfully obviously needed for 18 months now i might crash the f out

This excerpt is a little better and as someone who is also the son of an Iranian immigrant, I agree with it. Unfortunately it comes in a piece that takes the stance of "Mr. Trump, who I do not support, did something bad. But you know who's worse? Chuck Schumer"

Democrats’ response sucks bc they are leaning on [the obvious & important] Congressional powers [which will be a foundation of Dem opposition to Trump should Dems get control of Congress], but it doesn’t matter bc they would have supported the attack [which I’ll just assert without any argument]

“Heavily implied by their statements is that both Schumer and Jeffries would have voted to approve military action had Trump properly requested it. They just wanted the courtesy of him asking.” In what way is it “heavily implied that they would support it?” That’s not explained. It’s just declared.

Every single tweet about Democrats and Iran is just a massive CITATION NEEDED “both Schumer and Jeffries would have voted to approve military action if Trump had asked" where? based on what?

so what is the angle they are supposed to take seeing as they control no branch of government and trump used arbitrarily defined executive powers to do this

I know what you’re gonna say, I get it, I know. I unironically think this would be a good thing to try and get George Bush’s comment on

Why what happened

This is the kind of take bravery we need to get back to. You have to just be totally unvarnished and free to fire this sucker out there.

They pretty straightforwardly decided to go in on this together, and now that it's turning into a shitshow want people to blame the Jews.

What if ACC Coastal but an entire country

Someone needs to try the Elam Ending on a mass scale. Maybe the EuroLeague? Feel like ideally you could get it in place at D2 or D3 first the way they implemented the ABS system at lower levels

Tomorrow Never Dies remains the best Bond movie because everything in it happened for real

X-Files was so wild dawg, the 14th episode they ever did is about an Amish-inspired group that can change gender and produce pheromones so powerful everyone wants to have sex with them and then the last scene is like "you guessed it. it's aliens"

Heartbreaking. The worst person you know

Motherfucker you are from Severna Park, Maryland. I've been where you're from. I know those streets. Give me a fucking break

This action might be less popular in America than the world at large. Which is wild honestly.

I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.

Cannot emphasize enough that I have heard from someone who was there that Platner used to sell them coke at the Tune Inn when he worked there as a bartender and they were at the White House.

As I’ve been saying, these dudes are dug in like a tick. This is a 50 year ideological project for them and when it goes, it all goes. There is not going to be an Islamic Republic in Iran again. It’s wholly anachronistic with Iran’s history and isn’t wanted. They will never have more power than this

Latest Rewatchables with Bill, Mina, and Van Lathan is tremendous podcasting. Van and Mina are 5-tool players, can truly do it all

It’s fascinating to me that Stallone made Rocky in ‘76, this genuine, real rags to riches type story, that has such a grime, dirt under the fingernails feel, genuine 70s movie. By 1982, it was totally franchised, he fights Mr. T That same year, he makes First Blood. Gets a chance to do it again!

Reza Pahlavi has spent the last 25 years as a failed businessman living in a damn duplex in Northern Virginia. I have been to his house. Me! If I have been to your house, you are probably not qualified to lead one of the 15 biggest countries on planet earth

Absolutely incredible from Messi: scores a free kick, squares up to the Orlando supporters’ section as he celebrates, then asks an Orlando City assistant coach if he wants his autograph. The dude truly understands a rivalry, even in MLS. Put it in my veins.

you seem like a loser

jesus christ, how could i forget him! it's too hard man

gonna feel like a hipster out-of-left-field suggestion but if she does in LA what she did in Tokyo and Paris think Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is in this convo all this plus the de facto WRs in both the 400 hurdles and 400 flat? silly

*Santiago Munez

That 2000-2010s pocket produced more all time great athletes than I think any other decade, but he may be the crown jewel. The rarest of rare birds, a guy who made you feel like you could reach up and touch the stars by watching him

“I would say that, right now, Hormuz is a top 6 strait. I wouldn’t have said that 10 or 15 years ago but at this point it’s undeniable. In terms of upside you just have to put it alongside the greats. Gibraltar and Bering, of course, but I would then go Hormuz over Dover, which has fallen off.”

Need Fox to go back to putting the points standings up after the race. it's relevant again!

We're going to hit double digit MJ Fox interviews before he appears on NBC again
